The No. 3 MSU basketball team (7-0) is off to a fast and busy start to its 2015-16 campaign and is currently in the midst of a stretch which, when it's all said and done, will include seven games in 15 days. What started as a 79-73 victory over Kansas on Nov. 17 in Chicago, was followed by a 92-46 victory against Arkansas-Pine Bluff and continued with a four-game week, where the Spartans finished a Wooden Legacy championship. But MSU's busy stretch doesn't stop there. The Spartans, after getting back from California at 6:30 a.m. Monday morning, will turn right back around and take on the No. 24 Louisville Cardinals (5-0) Wednesday at 7:15 p.m.
